It includes a detailed business process analysis. The supplier has proposed a solution but the Architecture Board identified some of the project requirements not consistent with the adopted infrastructure standards. The CIO considered the risks and approved the implementation.

Choose one of the following answers

You ask the supplier to modify the web server hardware and software components so they can meet the current infrastructure standards. You advise to execute a proof of concept to anticipate any coding issue. Then, after the agreement with the development leads for supporting the development, you will provide the project plan to the project manager and develop an Architecture Contract. A set of frequent operational reviews to monitor the solution's performance is then scheduled after the implementation is completed.

You recommend the co-existence of a second web server standard and modify the company Standards Information Base adding this new technology.You ask the project architects to create an Architecture Contract with the development teams.

You eliminate the non-standard web server from the solution as recommended by the Architecture Board. You create a revised plan and Architecture Contract for the development stressing the re-use of standard technologies. You share the budget implication of this solution with a finance committee and inform the CIO of the long term cost benefits of this choice. You define periodical project management meetings to monitor compliance.

You execute a risk analysis and set deliverables and timing requirements with the development team. You implement a detailed impact analysis of the chosen solution. You create an Architecture Contract and ask for the CIO's approval before implementing it. You test the solution just prior to implementation and deliver the project artifacts and store after the completion of the implementation.

Correct Answer: C

As Lead Enterprise Architect, the best course of action is to eliminate the non-standard web server from the solution, adhering to the recommendations of the Architecture Board. This ensures compliance with the adopted infrastructure standards and mitigates long-term risks and costs associated with diverging from these standards. By creating a revised plan and Architecture Contract focused on leveraging standard technologies, you can effectively manage the project within budget and meet performance KPIs. Sharing the budget implications with a finance committee and informing the CIO of the long-term cost benefits aligns with prudent financial management and governance principles. Periodical project management meetings are necessary to monitor compliance and ensure the project's successful implementation.
